I will defend the losing side here a bit because the journalist is not exactly some helpless mascot in all of this, he is clearly engaging with Neymar and feeding the whole thing as well, so it is a bit rich to act like this is just one man randomly bullying an old bloke and nothing else, the whole exchange sounds like a stupid ego battle and both sides know exactly what they are doing, but Neymar gets all the heat because he is the famous one and because people already want to pile on him, which is fair enough in some ways but also means the context gets flattened and everyone pretends the other side is completely innocent when they are obviously not, it is messy and childish and probably best ignored but football fans never ignore anything if there is a chance to make it into a meme
